Marine's Deployment Saves Him From Criminal Charges

After being arrested for disorderly conduct and resisting police officers, a man will not be charged because he is a marine slated to be deployed, according to Fox Point police.

On April 25 at 7:50 p.m., Fox Point police responded to McDonald's in the Riverpoint Shopping Center, 8739 N Port Washington Rd., for a report of a man making inappropriate comments to patrons at the fast food restaurant. 

A victim told police the man came over and asked if a 3-month-old infant was her daughter. She said yes and he responded by saying if he got a girl pregnant, he would abort the baby. He also made comments about breastfeeding and touched the infant several times after being asked not to touch her. 

Upon police arrival, the man refused to answer questions and resisted when officers attempted to arrest him. Police say the man had a previously opened bottle of vodka in his waistband. He continued to be uncooperative with officers at the police station.

Fox Point police recommended charges be filed against the man, but an assistant district attorney said he was to be deployed by the marines soon and a charge or open case would prevent him from being deployed.

The man was cited by Fox Point police with underage consumption of alcohol.
